In this series we’ll go for a spin and break down the principles of retopology for industrial designers who want to gain a better understanding of working with 3D scans. Using a 3D scan of a bicycle helmet, you’ll learn how to clean up the geometry into a real, workable model in MODO with the option of exporting to SolidWorks and elevating your manufacturable designs to the next level.

MODO is one of the most extensible tools around, and you don't have to be a coding aficionado to automate frequent tasks. Keep in mind that Macros are extremely simple, which means that they can’t have fancy logic and they can’t include interactive elements like paint selection, tool handles, etc.
